  1. If we have learnt anything from the current situation, it is that realization that everything around us is so temporary… Life is so fragile.. The material activities we were attached to, like going to a movie, dining at a favorite restaurant, shopping, socializing with friends, fun outings have become far-fetched now..All this makes us realize the value of life, our time with our loved ones and the preciousness of the current moment! We should emerge out of this wiser, kinder, loving and being more in the moment! Make the best of every living moment! Spread love and kindness always! Touch as many hearts as possible with your kindness and love! That’s all that matters in this life!

    1. No that China lied to the world about COVIDS and allowed travel from China to the rest of the world of a highly contagious virus from Wuhan for three months during flu season in Europe & North America.

      Hmmmm? which nations had the highest death toll? Why the Europeans & Americans.

      Thanks be to the Communist dicatorship from China that wants to rule the world.

    1. @Muddy Water and Trump told the truth to America, like this is only 15 case like coronavirus will go away by April… now 1.5 Millions Americans have coronavirus, over 90000 Americans died… we do not trust China however China have nothing to do with the way President Trump handle badly the coronavirus.

    2. @Muddy Water dont blame the entirety of china- if all this stuff about china lying is true, then blame the leaders or whatever. Dont blame the people, they can’t do anything about it-

    3. @Muddy Water nobody want to listens to china at the beginning. only say “chinese are real sick men of asia” from west media. your fault not China

    1. @chris Hardnett One Chinese year is four years for the rest of us so he’s actually 21.

  2. I think this virus is “the wall”
    Immigration is dead as a result
    I am not applying any politically slanted statement, it just is a fact.

    1. I believe you are correct… With Gump making his statement on March 28th at his Gump rally calling this virus nothing more than a democratic hoax he waited too long… And it looks more like he did it on purpose

    2. @Jessica Wilson it is a big mistake that you do not take human beings as resources but consumers. Legal immigrants are usually qualified workers who benefit the US. If we follow your logic, the next step must be the one-child policy because you think increasing population has negative consequences.

    3. @熊维尼 the problem is Nancy Pelosi is trying to give money to illegal immigrants and grant them amnesty with the new stimulus bill. I’m all for legal immigrants they pay taxes. I don’t mind illegal immigrants as long as they pay sum sort of taxes, problem is all there work is under the table and they definitely do not make that much money but they could still pay a small amount of taxes. All American citizens and legal immigrants that work do, so should they it doesn’t have to be much just something. Then they can benefit from federal relief money fairly.

    1. libs don’t like facts; the US has 1 of the lowest per capita infection and death rates from corona among comparable 1st world countries

  3. America will see a HUGE second wave in next to no time, certainly no later than August or September. Beware… be safe, be well, be careful. Don’t believe the lies coming from donnie tRump who you know lies just for the sake of hearing his own voice with no intelligence or consideration in his moronic comments. Beware of tRump!

    1. @Briguy1027 Don’t bother wasting your breath trying to hold an intelligent conversation with brainwashed and hypnotized Trumpsters who are entrenched in their Jonestown-like cult conspiracy theories. They actually think Fauci, Clintons, Obamas drink the blood of aborted babies. I’m not kidding. They are beyond hope. Just pray you and your loved ones don’t get infected by any of them.

    2. @Mark G look at the chart from 1918 pandemic
      The second wave is what killed the most people

    3. most people that have died have been either elderly or had underlying health conditions, so unless you fit 1 of those scenarios, you are likely safe even if you contract corona; that is fact

    1. he was an excellent athlet in his early days (as well as an outstanding doc) ,but in his 60’s he got a heart attack; then he restarted weight training till now.

    2. @Robert Jackman oh God, me too. 84 look in 60s, I’m 60 look like 35. He did look sexy, what age that picture swim suit grapping pool stair?

  4. The comments section has been made a little too sour by butthurt Republicans who cannot handle admitting the trump administration’s incompetence

    1. the US has one of the lowest per capita infection and death rate from corona, yet somehow libs still spin it as a failure

    2. @ChristianMission you either need to take a course on virology/epidemiology or you’re purposely spreading misinformation. The US has 90k deaths and worldwide there is 300k deaths. US accounts for 30% of deaths. US doesn’t even have 5% of world’s population. There’s no way its per capita deaths is one of the lowest. Also, US was short on PPE and short on testing until very recently. Why did it take months for testing to get anywhere close to satisfactory? Not to mention the administration 2 weeks earlier projected 74k deaths by August and now we’re looking at probably 200k deaths by August. I usually don’t waste time arguing with trump supporters but you would have to be extremely stupid to not see what’s going on here. Nobody needs to spin anything for common sense people to see this is a failure

    3. ​@Dimitria Liberty Huston and i’m not leaving and kept my job because i’m a twenty something single dude.

  5. Who left the bag of idiots open? Karma is like a rubber band, you can stretch it so far before it comes back and smacks you in the face!

  6. So, in the USA you’re now ‘punished’ if you tell the truth, in China you’re punished if you lie about the true numbers.
    It used to be the other way around. 🤯🤬

    1. Wrong. In China, you will be punished or be vanished by tell the truth for government’s mess the real Wuhan virus positive numbers. You can never tell anyone outside of the China, or you will be found and be arrested.

    2. @Ning Ning Chiu The fact that taiwaneses like you that have probably never been to China before and just think we can get arrested for saying some stuff is seriously amusing. Do you listen to your Taiwanese media? I bet you do. U srsly think some random Chinese citizen just would get arrested for speaking out? Oh yeah and Qiushi is an American spy, the more you know.

    3. @Ning Ning Chiu Well Dr.Zhong just criticized the government at this very interview with CNN. Are you crazy or not?

  7. “Don’t eat too much” and “keep on exercising”…Try to figure out which one is easier to do…

    1. You need sufficient protein to build up immune system and reasonable amount of exercise(heart pumping like always but a bit of quicker and sweat a bit)

    2. He meant not eating too much in a meal but you can have multiple meals in a day like 4 or 5 times. That’s a common norm for Chinese to do to stay healthy.

    3. CCP Troll several small meals a day can help keep the metabolism up. As long as you’re careful of how many calories per meal & make sure they are as healthy as possible. Snacks of raw fruits, veggies, & nuts are a great way to keep your body healthy & your tummy full. Also, remember to drink water throughout the day. If you must have a salty snack, try lightly salting your veggies. I like a little garlic salt & olive oil on my raw peas from the garden. Making your own salad dressings & sauces at home is another way to get lots of flavor into your foods without all the extra stuff that slows you down.

  8. At the end of the day, I do not want a second wave. A second wave won’t give a damn if you are red or blue.

    1. JSB Hmm Of course you let people travel to what ever they want by taking their temperature before the travel, in fact you need to take their temperature where ever you go during the crisis, and that’s what we learn from sars, but when we realise this virus is more tricky than sars we adjust the method immediately, quarantine all close contact person and try to contained the virus. In fact you cannot stop people from going out when they can prove theimy are healthy. What would you think about if the whole world shut their door to you americans when you know you’re absolutely healthy. Complaint about the shut down of boarder is at the beginning of this pandemic when no one can anticipate this virus is so infectious, and now the chinese gov itself have shut down their boarder to all foreign travelers, yes you can always criticise their reaction when you know what will happen, but when you try to make a decision at that moment of time, its very hard. Of couse I can totally understand you may criticise the reaction now, but thats just not fair and not helpful, so please just focus on what you and your country can do and stop pointing fingers.

    2. Sucker Free why you dont kill all hiv patients so you can eliminate that virus easily right? so nazi you are.🥴🥴

    3. JSB Hmm yea, zero doubt from your mouth, so you are the one better than any of scientists out there, did you even pass your biology in the high school? Oh sorry, maybe you even didn’t finish your HS

    4. @Matt Liu No you DON’T. Heck Chinese wouldn’t even let people travel out of Wuhan, but they let Chines spread the CCP virus around the world? Shame on the CCP… the vicious little Beijing worms!

  9. 84? As a nurse, I think Dr. Zhong is in better shape than most men I’ve seen who are in their 40’s here in the US.

    1. True. I am around 40, never have any respiratory disease. But, I always feel short of breath when walking fast due to obesity… shame on me…

  10. There are television interviews and social media posts that can back up both of Zhong’s claims of initial cover-up by Wuhan local officials and later swift decisive actions once human-to-human transmission deemed highly likely. Yet, for the 2 months that followed, the Trump administration miserably failed to take notice and take action.

    1. When I heard him described covid19 as normal flu, I knew something bad will happen. Thousands of American paid their life to his ignorance.

  11. Where are all the Trumptards screaming “FAKE NEWS?”

    Come on guys, you gotta admit it’s one helluva well played “hoax” to get the entire planet in on it.

    1. @xYouthAttackx Tf do Hillarys emails have to do with this 😂😂?? & Trump is the president, NOT Obama. Its trumps responsibility. The stupidity of you people 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

  12. The fortunate thing over there in China was almost everyone in the nation listened to Dr. Zhong’s advice throughout this whole pandemic. Well, over here….

    1. Kathy Grosso LOL u actually have no idea about what happened in China, do u? Starvations LMAO 😂 stop watching Fox News

    2. Narendra Modi you’re kidding right? Problem is we aren’t a communist country. And locking people up didn’t stop the virus. All you have to do is follow the urns.
